Hello,

I am planning to publish an SVG map which uses a WMS service (webmapping service) to include raster images as map background.

Since the WMS publishes commercial data, I was asked to secure the WMS such, that only requests can be made which originate from our domain, e.g. from the SVG that requests the map. I have a way to restrict this in Apache by using the referer information. If a request has been made from my own domain (or specific files), access is granted, otherwise not.

While this works fine in Mozilla, Safari and Opera, it seems that Batik Squiggle does not send the referer attribute (in my logfile this field is empty) and access therefore doesn't work with Batik.

Would it be possible to enhance Batik Squiggle such that it correctly sends the referer information in the http request?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Andreas
